I put up bandit signs and have a Google voice account for the phone to ring.

But there is pretty much no way to get my appraisal and survey money back.If the stars line up, I may still be able to acquire the property - but after the 3 ring circus this lender caused, I'm sure the seller/agents are all going to avoid me like the plague.

That's equivalent to a store missing an item when ringing up your order or a waiter forgetting to ad an item onto the check.

#1 - Your response about big company/small company practices rings sincere, though I don't think I'd arrive at the same conclusion.

My apartments are 30 years old.I have a maintenance guy do unit checks every 2 weeks.Basically checks water heater,heater,outside unit,light bulbs,ceiling fans,electric,plumbing,etc.We have water included in rent so stuff like replacing springs and o rings in the showers to prevent drips and replacing flappers in toilets to keep the water from running all the time.Sometimes the shutoff valve at the wall for the toilet doesn't close all the way to off or the float mechanism goes bad.You can buy a water pressure tester at Lowe's for 9 dollars.Just screw it on check for pressure.Should read 60 to 80 pounds.If it's higher than that you have to find the pressure regulator valve next to the water cutoff for the unit and adjust it.After adjusting if the pressure doesn't go down to 60 to 80 you have a bad pressure regulator that needs replacing.The importance of this is pressure is set for the cities and counties at around 160 for the fire hydrants.If pressure is high inside the apartments it can cause leaking and premature failure of plumbing parts.On the insurance we are required for replacement value and can't do market value.

We started up again last weekend and our phones have been ringing off the hook.

Some days, the phone doesn't ring.

You also may want to check on the wax ring on the toilet a bit more often than ordinarily.

He would sit in apartment for 2-4 hrs, waiting for a call or visit of potential renters and when after 2-4 hrs of COMPLETE silence his phone finally rings, he would say"Therrrearrreanotherrrrenters, whoarrreinterrrested,soyouneedtodecide NOW!"
